Market Research – Working hand-in-hand with our clients, we can
provide market deployment strategies
designed to maximize expansion opportunities without compromising
individual unit performance. We have the
ability to model and, therefore, quantify the relationship between the
site and demographics, psychographics, business/employment, shopping,
and competitive variables of market trends.
Premium Site Acquisition – We don’t just work with what brokers
have available. Using your specific demographic
targets, we help you to hone location strategies based on predictive
modeling, proven research, and old-fashioned
legwork. We leverage our relationships in the national real estate
industry to find and acquire the sites within your markets that hold
the greatest sales potential and the best fit for your expansion
needs.
Strategic Reach - Our volume of real estate activities
positions us to negotiate the best possible deals, getting you
better properties and reducing your occupancy costs at the outset.
Merchandizing Mix – We match you in advance at each location
with other recognized national brands, creating a
strong merchandising mix to help drive traffic and to further assure
the success of each new store.
Legal and Land Use Issues – Our established professionals –
both national and local – resolve any legal,
environmental or land use issues, and manage the entire entitlement
process.
Design and Architecture – Working with your internal
architecture and design group, our team of architectural,
engineering and design professionals develop each store to conform
with your company’s specifications, standards
and models. Within each site we layout stores to ensure the best
accessibility, and we design front elevations to
fit the harmony of the local community.
Financing – We originate billions of dollars in real estate
loans every year, ranking us as one of the largest real estate
lending intermediary in the nation. Our broad access to private and
institutional investors lets us borrow at the lowest possible cost of
capital. This, in turn, translates into lower rental rates for your
stores.
Construction – We are a preferred developer with a demonstrated
track record for quality, consistency and
reliability. We use the volume of our business to attract and retain
the best contractors, and to get the best prices
for the work that they provide. We can provide you with a “vanilla”
shell for your own build-out process, or we can manage your build-out
for you on a turn-key basis.
Property Management – Among the largest and most respected
landlords in the country, we maintain a team of professionals to focus
exclusively on the operating needs of our buildings. Our
responsiveness allows your
managers to focus on retail sales and not on the real estate. We
provide web-based communication platforms
to offer immediate access for problem resolution, and to coordinate
work orders and long-term maintenance.
